Who are you, where did you come from?
You gave wings to my heart.
Who are you, coming in my flower-like sleep?
You gave dreams to my eyes.
ஒரு சில நொடி
குழந்தையைப்போலே

For a few moments, like a child,
For another few moments, like God,
For many moments, even beyond that,
You became.

வேறேதோ
தூவுலகம் ஒன்றில்
இவனாலே பூக்கிறேனே
ஊன் எல்லாம் மென் உணர்வு
ஒன்று இவனாலே பாயிரேனே
In a pure, different world,
I am blossoming because of him.
Throughout my body, a soft feeling
Flows because of him.
இவனிடம் பணம்
ஒரு துளி இல்லை மனிதரின்
குணம் சிறு துளி இல்லை
இவனிடம் மனம் முழுவதும்
முழுவதும் தந்தேனே
He doesn't have a drop of money,
Nor does he have modern human vices,
To him, my entire heart,
I surrendered.
திரை விலகிய
மேடையைப்போலே
பனி விலகிய
கோடையைப்போலே
மழை நனைத்திடும்
ஆடையைப்போலே ஆனேனே
Like a stage when the curtain parts,
Like summer when the mist clears,
Like clothing soaked in rain,
I became...

மரம் செடி
கொடிகளை அணைத்தாயே
மலர்களின் இதழ்களை
துடைத்தாயே உன் கையில்
நான் சேர்ந்தால் என் செய்வாய்
You embraced the trees, plants, and vines,
You wiped the petals of the flowers,
If I join your hands,
What will you do?
வனங்களின்
மகன் என பிறந்தாயே
புலிகளின் மடியினில்
வளர்ந்தாயே மான்
என்னை நான் தந்தாள்
என் செய்வாய்
You were born as the son of colors,
You grew up in the lap of tigers,
If I surrender myself to you like a deer,
What will you do?
மாறாதே உன்னை
உன்போலே ஏற்றேனே
ஆனாலும் உண்மை
ஏன் என்றுக்கேட்டேனே
உரைத்திடு யாரோ நீ
Do not change,
I accepted you as you are.
Yet I ask what the truth is,
Tell me, who are you?
யாரோ நீ எங்கிருந்து
வந்தாய் என் நெஞ்சில் சிறகு
